Q:
An elevator is assembled to raise equipment to a height of 22m. It is estimated that maximum weight of the material to be raised is 4.9kN. It is observed acceleration in such cases is 1.2m/s².10mm diameter wire ropes with fibre core are used. The tensile designation of the wire is 1500.Number of rope wires is assumed to be 2. Number of rope wires is assumed to be 2. Calculate the weight of wire if weight of 50m wire is 18kg. Calculate the force due to acceleration.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 309.144N
Explanation: Mass of material raised by each wire rope= 2450/9.81 = 249.7kg. Mass of each wire rope= 77.7/9.81 =7.92kg. Force due to acceleration= [249.7+7.92] x 1.2.
